RedNano Hi! I was implementing fail2ban as a security measure. This tool basically parses the logs and looks for strings that reveal failed connection attempts, but it does need the lines to be timestamped! I can't find any option to enable such feature anywhere and my logs don't have any timestamps! I'm using arch linux, if it's any help. Cheers!
Pippin No idea about Arch but maybe you want to take a look at the openvpn* files in: /lib/systemd/system and /usr/lib/systemd/system
TinCanTech RedNano wrote I can't find any option to enable such feature anywhere and my logs don't have any timestamps So you searched the manual for timestamp
